Question from Ashford, Connecticut, USA:

There have been a lot of reports on the increased incidence of type 1 diabetes. Has any link been considered between this increase and the increased used of Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH), other hormones, and antibiotics in the food supply?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

No known link with growth hormones of any kind in the food chain or antibiotics has been demonstrated anywhere in the world. The rising incidence is occurring internationally, in westernized countries as well as developing countries. Much speculation, but not much data so far. the latest reports refuted suspicions of vaccines as a possible culprit.
